What are Base Ten Blocks used for?

Base Ten Blocks are small math tools that help kids understand numbers and how they work.

They show place value — like ones, tens, hundreds, and thousands — using blocks of different sizes:.
  • Small cubes = 1
  • Rods = 10
  • Flats = 100
  • Large cubes = 1,000.
They make it easier to learn addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division by showing what numbers look like.
